20150126998 | ELECTROSURGICAL SYSTEM HAVING GRASPER AND SNARE WITH SWITCHABLE ELECTRODE - An electrosurgical system includes a grasper and a snare that each includes electrodes. The grasper includes a first electrode that is attachable to a first output of an energy supply. The snare includes a second electrode that is attachable to a second output of the energy supply. When the first and second electrodes are coupled to the energy supply, the grasper and snare operate as a bipolar electrosurgical system. By grasping the tissue with the jaws of the grasper, the current path between the electrode on the snare and the electrode on the grasper is relatively short, and thus the system operates like a bipolar electrosurgical system. Accordingly, the applied energy can be focused to a small area, minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. In addition, energy suitable for coagulating the cut portion of the stalk of the removed tissue can be readily applied with the bipolar electrosurgical system. | 05-07-2015 |

20130068247 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR CLEANING SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS - Methods and apparatus for cleaning a surgical instrument during a surgical procedure insert at least the portion of the surgical instrument that is to be cleaned into a vessel containing a liquid and applying ultrasonic vibrations to the liquid within the vessel to generate cavitation bubbles in the liquid. The bubbles formed by cavitation of the liquid are very effective at removing debris from the surgical instrument, particularly from crevices and difficult-to-reach areas of the surgical instrument. The liquid also can be heated by a heating element of the vessel or by activating a heat-generating transducer of the surgical instrument being cleaned, or both. | 03-21-2013 |
20140276812 | BIPOLAR COLPOTOMY DEVICE - A bipolar electrosurgical assembly is for use in female pelvic surgical procedures. A first shaft includes a uterine manipulator, a second shaft that fits over the first shaft includes a colpotomy cup and first and second electrodes, and a third shaft can be provided over the second shaft and carries a seal for maintaining pneumoperitoneum. The colpotomy cup uses the first and second electrodes for resecting uterine tissue. Incision and resection may be performed by positioning the colpotomy cup near the cervico-vaginal junction, activating the first electrode, and moving one or both of the electrodes. | 09-18-2014 |
20150133923 | ELECTROSURGICAL COLPOTOMY DEVICE - A bipolar electrosurgical colpotomy device includes a colpotomy cup and a tissue containment bag. The colpotomy cup includes a first electrode located adjacent to a rim of the cup, the rim being configured to contact an internal surface of a patient's cervico-vaginal junction. The tissue containment bag includes an opening and a second electrode located adjacent to the opening. The tissue containment bag is configured to surround the patient's uterus and the opening is configured to fit over an external surface of the patient's cervico-vaginal junction. Applying a voltage potential between the first and second electrodes vaporizes tissue at the patient's cervico-vaginal junction by electrosurgical energy passing through the tissue disposed between the first and second electrodes. The tissue containment bag then can be used to remove the uterus from the patient, possibly after masticating the uterus within the bag. | 05-14-2015 |
20150201964 | INTEGRATED UTERINE MANIPULATOR AND SENSOR AND METHOD - A uterine manipulator for manipulation of a uterus of a patient is provided. The uterine manipulator includes an elongate member having a distal end. The elongate member is configured to be inserted into a patient's anatomy, and the elongate member defines a center line through a center of the elongate member. An expandable membrane is coupled with the distal end of the elongate member. The expandable membrane has an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration, wherein in the expanded configuration, the expandable membrane is configured to manipulate the patient's anatomy. A sensor is disposed adjacent to the elongate member and arranged non-coaxially with the center line of the elongate member. | 07-23-2015 |
